Glass beads	Etching glass	1 - 4 in.	40	- 90	Move gun back and forth over the template in a
					brushing manner. Blast at a 90o angle. For fine polishing,
					use glass beads for the abrasive.

Ground walnut	Antiquing or	2 - 6 in.	40	- 90	Use brushing strokes and watch the abrasion rate
shells	weathering wood				carefully. Soft wood will wear faster than hardwood.
					Smaller grit sizes give a smoother finish. Start with low
					pressure and gradually build up pressure. Blast at a 45o
					angle.

Glass beads,	Wood sanding and	1 - 6 in.	40	- 70	Use brushing strokes and watch the abrasion rate
ground walnut	refinishing				carefully. Use walnut shells for coarse finishing and glass
shells	furniture				beads for final finishing. Blast at a 45o angle.

Aluminum	Cleaning	1 - 4 in.	40	- 80	Use larger grit media on a hidden area. If the base
oxide	automotive parts				material is being damaged, use a smaller grit. Blast at
					an 80 – 90o angle.

Ground pecan	Cleaning or	1 - 6 in.	40	- 125	Use brushing strokes and watch the abrasion rate
or walnut	preparing for				carefully. Soft wood will wear faster than hard wood.
shells and corn	paint				Smaller grit sizes give a smoother finish. Start with low
cob meal					pressure and gradually build up pressure. Blast at a
					45 - 60o angle.

Aluminum	Cleaning or	1 - 3 in.	50	- 125	Remove flaking paint first with wire brush, then blast
oxide (50-80)	stripping outdoor				with a heavy grit abrasive. Multiple layer of old paint
	equipment				should be scraped first. Prime immediately following
					blasting to prevent corrosion. Blast at a 45 - 60o angle.

NOTE: Abrasive media that has not been cleaned and screened could contain material that will clog the gun nozzle and should be avoided. Use low air pressure (60 psi or less) for soft metals, glass , and wood.

Use higher pressures for hard steels; do not exceed 125 psi.
